Mumbai: For those wondering about Shabana Azmi's chic new short-haired look, here is the answer. She has cut her hair to a very stylish size for her role in a crossover film The Contest.
"I have a delightful part in the film. I play this flighty socialite," Shabana said.
"The director is a very talented newcomer Manish Acharya. It is a comedy. Manish is an New York University graduate. I think he is as talented as Farhan Akhtar. He can talk for hours about global cinema and knows every Amitabh Bachchan starrer and every Javed Akhtar dialogue by heart,” she added.
Shabana has seldom been so excited about a director.
"Manish is an insanely talented filmmaker. Would you believe he was a hotshot executive in an American company and was offered obscene amounts of money to join an Indian company?” Shabana said.
"But he told his wife, 'If I continue doing this I'll never have the courage to make a film.' She is a very good painter. She agreed to support him while he went away to NYU and performed very well there,” she added.
